Following a number of detections of avian influenza in poultry and wild and captive birds across the southwest of England a regional Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) has been declared in Cornwall, Devon, Isles of Scilly and part of Somerset. There is now a legal requirement for all bird keepers to implement enhanced biosecurity measures to help protect their flocks. Details of the conditions and a map of the zone can be found in the Declaration of Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (England) (PDF, 740 KB, 7 pages).
